Welcome to Roaming the Arts                   
                                                                                                      

Roaming the Stacks is devoted to increase web site traffic for authors of fiction and Roaming the Tracks has a similar mission, devoted to musicians.

 

Roaming the Stacks includes writing about authors and their body of work, their characters, both continuing and stand-alone. On Roaming the Tracks, the key feature is an index of links to the web sites of hundreds of musicians, beginning with a focus on Roots, Americana, Folk Rock and familiar rock artists. Certainly, this initial list leaves off thousand of musicians and bands.

 

The area of the site without a clever name is devoted to the Visual Arts. Adding artists to this area of the site will continue as artists work come to our attention.

 

Looking back... we've overlooked this perfect union of Musician and Author

Ben Folds wrote the songs and Nick Hornby the lyrics.
